We ate dinner elsewhere but did appreciate the packed breakfast the hotel gave us for our morning safari. The room was fine and had everything you needed, although our room was directly opposite the dining room so curtains had to be shut the whole time. There was quite a few bad smells, damp smell in the room, sewage smell outside etc, but it didn’t ruin our stay. ##### Kate Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeanine Nov 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Thanks for the hospitality!
